Quickie, Hell’s Hunter, Luscious Trapp & Mr. Mystic On The 100th Conversation Cypher

ccc-120-quickiehellshunterluscioustrapptemplateandmrmystic

If you’re new or not paying much attention a little over a month ago to celebrate doing 100 of these comics I did 4 of them where a bunch of the characters had a huge rap battle/cypher (which you can check out here https://goo.gl/qQkUQ3 ) and this comic is referring to that.

My friend Chris started watching all the “DCComics” “CW” shows and of the characters in all these shows he hates “Jimmy Olsen” from “Supergirl”.  He has some real problem with “Jimmy” liking “Supergirl” while he was with “Lucy Lane”.  It’s truely bizzare. This made me think about the show and I’m starting to wonder is there much more to the show than Melissa Benoist being really likeable. The villains kinda suck. Wynn sucks (seriously this guy is dead weight. Get rid of him).

Then again “Martian Manhunter” and “Alex” are pretty good. and “Mon-El” seems interesting so far. I also like that in this world is just known and accepted that there are aliens. So maybe there is more to it.

Tomorrow Lou and Mr. Mystic return with J-Pop to talk some more about the 100th Conversation Cypher. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Quickie, Hell’s Hunter, & Luscious Trapp On Their TV Shows

ccc-111-quickiehellshunterluscioustrapp

I was pretty disappointed with last week’s season 3 premiere of “The Flash”.  It just seems like the same things over and over.  We’ve done time travel, we’ve done fighting other speedsters to death, and we’ve done alternate realities/ timelines. This alternate timeline wasn’t even all that interesting. I mean seriously, Caitlyn is an eye doctor?!

Tomorrow Luscious Trapp returns again along with Drizzle and Ms. Majors to talk about problems between Exceptions (mutants) and The Notpeople (“Inhumans”)

ccc-110-specialgirlj-popluscioustrappc

The first issue of “Marvel’s” new “Champions” series came out last week. It’s an okay comic. Most of the heroes were part of the “All New All Different Avengers”, and their reason for leaving that team is kinda flimsy. Something about fighting during “Civil War II” and not doing enough to fix things after battles.  This comic is mostly about how I decided to name my version of the “Teen Titans” “The Champion Crew” and how that is similar to “The Champions”.

After a lot of DVR trouble and a lot of online searching I saw the season 2 premiere episode of “Supergirl”. Overall it was pretty good. I definitely had my doubts about having “Superman” on the show, but so I far I think I was wrong. He acutally worked pretty well on the show. “Tess Mercer” “Lena Luthor” also seems like an interesting addition to the show. “Kara” being a reporter though… Seems like she should have a different job than her cousin. Oh and before I forget “Winn” sucks. Every show doesn’t have to have some impossibly good tech person.

Tomorrow Louscious returns with Quickie and Hell’s Hunter to talk about their TV shows and some other stuff. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

In the comics “Misty Knight” has a bionic arm. That’s pretty much what this comic is about. I haven’t watched anymore of “Luke Cage” (still only about half way through), but nothing about the show would make me think the “Misty Knight” on that show is going to get some type of robotic arm by the end. Although if she did and it said “Stark” or something on it that would be awesome.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” next Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-108-blindfuryhellshunterluscioustrapp

If you’ve been reading these comic for a while (and even more so if you follow me and Twitter and IG) you probably know I’m not a fan of “Agents Of Shield”.  Also as I said yesterday it really sucks they’re using “Ghost Rider” and not giving him a kickass “Netflix” show.  It truly sad because there’s no reason why the show should be as bad as it is. What it comes down to it the characters suck.  “Skye” (I’m never referring to her as “Daisy” or “Quake” because she was SUCH a bitch about her name) is pretty much unlikeable and what makes it worse is the plot CONSTANTLY basically screams “SHE’S IMPORTANT”. Every other character is varying ranges of dull, meh, or terrible. The only exception is “Simmons” who is decent.  They of course killed or got rid of every other okay to good character including:

  • “Grant Ward” – Easily the best character on the show and the only one who really acted like a spy (despite his TERRIBLE backstory). Naturally they end up killing and re-killing him
  • Deathlok – WHY DON’T THEY USE THIS GUY?!!! Literally one of the best characters from the very first episode, a genuine “Marvel” hero, and played by “Wheddon” show alum (as Charles Gunn on “Angel”) J. August Richards
  • The first black guy – I don’t remember his name (and I can’t even be bothered to look it up) and he wasn’t that great but he was WAY better than “Mac”. They killed this guy too
  • Hunter & Bobbi (Mockingbird) – Both okay characters. I know they got written off for a spinoff that didn’t work out, but yeah…

Oh I also make reference to an interview with Chloe Bennett (Skye) in this comic.  Even giving her the benefit of the doubt that she sorta joking the things she says about the “Marvel” movies acknowledging the show are crazy to me. You can check it out here https://qr.net/FQ4AtK

So how many of ya’ll been watching (or have a watched for you super binge watchers) “Luke Cage”? I’ve watched about half of it and it’s pretty damn good. “Marvel” and “Netflix” has done it again! One thing I really like about the “Marvel” “Netflix” shows is that each show feels completely different than the others. It’s damn shame we’re not getting a “Ghost Rider” show like this.  Instead he get’s to hang with “Skye” from “Agents Of Shield” while she been annoying.

Speaking of which, tomorrow Luscious Trapp returns with Blind Fury and we’re introduced to Hell’s Hunter. They’ll be talking about his character being on the show “Operatives Of A.R.M.O.R.”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-106-theminstrelfreedomfemalegoodknight

I’ve seen people “ship” “Batman” and “Wonder Woman” and I just don’t see it at all. As these comics have gone into, “Batman’s” relationships are messed up and I don’t see “Wonder Woman” putting up with that nonsense. I’ve seen memes where literally “Wonder Woman” just drops the panties cuz’ “he’s “Batman””, but what would that mean to “Wonder Woman”?

Depending on which version she’s either is one of, or was created by the Gods.  At the very least she is royalty. You might think “well Batman is a billionaire and that’s basically like being royalty”, but “Wonder Woman” is a special case.  The “Amazon’s” seem to live a fairly simple life.  “Wonder Woman” is the kinda gal that brings a boar to a dinner party as was mentioned before…

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
